Yeah, still timing out :/ Thanks for trying

Hi Debian arm porters. PyPy is a bit of a beast to build (2G RAM
minimum, for a sane build time), and is rather good at timing out on
buildds. However I can reliably build it locally, and when we get bigger
machines in the build farm, it should be able to build there. We've had
no trouble in Ubuntu, since they got highbank buildds.
There is JIT support for x86 and ARM, so ARM is one of the more useful
platforms to have supported in the archive.
I assume from Hector's mail that there'll likely be no objection to my
doing binary uploads, until there are capable buildds again. But here's
some notice, anyway :)
